What skaters said on Reddit
way to go! 👏👏 one tip is to keep your head over your front foot while pushing. it will help you keep your balance. this video helps alot when you're learning to push. [VIDEO]
Watch Skate Park Lessons on youtube, solid beginner tutorials. [VIDEO]
This video is the one that helped me a lot! Specifically, I wasn’t keeping my head above my front foot, so I was always off balance. [VIDEO]
This is the key for sure, I hope you don't mind me piggybacking onto your comment but this YouTube video helps put your advice into perspective perfectly! [VIDEO]
I've had similar struggles myself but weather and work has kept me away from more practice. There's a ton of videos on YouTube but in case you haven't seen these, here are some I saved for myself with some techniques that looked really good to help get over the hump. A lot of mine is mental too. Hope they help you. [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
My 2c, try to keep your head right above your front foot when you push so you keep your body weight on your front foot. I found this video inmensely helpful to understand and improve my balance and foot positioning as well [VIDEO]
Just noticed the link I shared isn’t going to the right place: Video Link [VIDEO]
[VIDEO] Try some of these pointers.
